.1745864620619.jpg)
The challenge
This project improves the user's ability to put on and take off long pants that taper below the knee.
Who it helps
Above or Below Knee Prosthetic Users
How it works
The solution addresses the challenge of having to remove a prosthetic with no ankle flexion when putting on long pants without the user having to change the rigid ankle joint of the prosthetic.
The solution is a pair of long pants that allows the user to dress and undress without removing or altering one or both prosthetic legs.
Tools needed
